(A) Using the lens maker's formula for a biconvex lens, we have:$\frac{1}{f} = (\mu - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} ight)$Since the lens is symmetrical and biconvex, $R_1 = 5 \ cm$ and $R_2 = -5 \ cm$.$\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1) \left( \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{-5} ight) = 0.5 	imes \left( \frac{2}{5} ight) = \frac{1}{5} \ cm^{-1}$.Thus, the focal length $f = 5 \ cm$.Using the lens equation $\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$, where $u = -20 \ cm$:$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{-20} = \frac{1}{5}$$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4 - 1}{20} = \frac{3}{20}$$v = \frac{20}{3} \ cm$.The image is formed at a distance of $\frac{20}{3} \ cm$ from the optical center of the lens.
